It's a horrible world where we have armed brutes trained only to kill as the first responders in emergencies, & it doesn't have to be that way at all. Easily we can collectively commit to build better.

ATTN: RELX CEO Erik Engstrom, Nick Luff (CFO), and Paul Ashton Walker (Chair)
Re: Immediate Termination of contracts between RELX subsidiaries and ICE
February 9th, 2026
Dear Erik Engstrom, Nick Luff, and Paul Ashton Walker,
We are some of the authors that make events like BookCon—run by your subsidiary, ReedPop—possible. Another of your subsidiaries, LexisNexis, has a $22.1 million dollar contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), supplying them with the data they need to surveil and terrorize our neighbors, friends, and families.[1] We condemn any collaboration with ICE and call for the immediate termination of all contracts between RELX and ICE.
ICE has a twenty-two year history of discrimination and abuse against immigrant communities. Under the current administration, their efforts have escalated in both violence and visibility—enabled by their partners in big data, including LexisNexis.[2]
RELX is a multinational corporation worth $40 billion, of which events like BookCon are only a small fraction. Our power is limited. But BookCon advertises itself as a place where "fantasy meets reality,"[3] and the reality is that RELX is profiting from mass terror against communities of color, including the murder of eight people this year alone. The fantasy is that a bunch of readers and authors could ignore it; we know a villain when we see one.
We, as authors, intend to honor our immediate commitments to BookCon and to our readers. If RELX chooses to renew their current contract with ICE–which expires on February 28, 2026[4]–we will be forced to reevaluate our association with all future ReedPop events.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5c65uqakb4kmnss5zgdsfego/bafkreicnq6khcuo2nkyef76ghhzvaikkm4vojnlasyxpuemjnrtmni4koa@jpeg)

Renewable energy companies in the Dominican Republic lost around USD 5.17 million between January and June 2025 because the country chose to waste part of the solar energy generated.
Wasting renewable energy comes at a high cost for the Dominican Republic
By operating thermal plants above their limits and maintaining a grid with insufficient storage capacity, the DR wastes part of its clean energy and generates multimillion-dollar losses.

Economic growth still tracks CO2 emissions, with real decoupling more promise than proof (tech helps, but total emissions are still ↑).
A fundamental climate question isn’t just how to grow: it’s whether endless GDP growth fits a finite planet.
